Extensions to verify for MW 1.43 version

[yaronkoren]

Of course, it would be good to verify that every extension in Canasta works with MW 1.43, but there are certain extensions where their current compatibility with MW 1.43 seems especially in doubt. This is a list of those extensions, along with the reason for each. Note that this list does not include those extensions for which there is already an issue tracker to remove, or consider removing, it.

Extensions whose current status is "unmaintained":

Extensions whose current status is "beta":

• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MediaUploader
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenGraphMeta
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Drilldown
• https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleChanges

Extensions that are LTS-supporting only, and not yet listed as supporting MW 1.43:

  • https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList

Finally, there is CodeMirror, which is currently moving from version 5 to version 6 - and I don't know which, if either, version works with MW 1.43:

@tosfos - any thoughts on SimpleChanges, or the six WikiTeq extensions?

[yaronkoren]

@pastakhov - same question to you about the WikiTeq extensions, and also about CodeMirror. What is the best branch/commit to use for CodeMirror, for MW 1.43?

[tosfos]

We haven't tested most of them for 1.43 yet, but we should. At a minimum, we'll update the extension pages once we have completed this.

[yaronkoren]

@tosfos - hopefully you can test them soon! (And the same goes for your SimpleChanges extension.) We would like to release the next version of Canasta in the next few weeks, if it's possible.
